Hello Antonio, I have tried sl-modem-daemon before. It did not work with my notebook. I configured it like this: 1. I start slmodemd in rc.local : > > #!/bin/sh -e > # > # rc.local > # > # ... > > /opt/slmodemd/slmodemd --country=GERMANY --alsa hw:0,6 >> /var/log/slmodemd.log 2>&1 & > > exit 0 2. I assigned my user account to the group uucp, because slmodemd creates the device /dev/pts/0 with user root and group uucp and than creates a link /dev/ttySL0 Now it works! I can start efax-gtk with my user account and efax will not get an "permission denied" when accessing /dev/ttySL0 Thank you all for your help! cu, guido > Hello Antonio and also Jacques, > > Antonio Olivares schrieb: >> > >> > scanModem recommends you get SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz >> > >> > Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel >> > audio+modem driver >> > >> > An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel >> > provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. >> > For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) >> > complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd >> > >> > Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ >> > the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd.
